Hi there, Some time ago I promised to write a ESDI-Howto section of the FBSD handbook. From the confusion that still reigns I get the impression this is sorely needed ;-) My problem is I really are only slowly getting some idea about what should go into that chapter 8) There isn't much point in getting more confusion. Question: who has ever tried an ESDI controller != WD1007 ? I have one working myself now, but like to know how other controllers work. Although I'm hunting for a Adaptec 2322 I still only have a WD1007. And the 2322 has a number of variants. So: please send your input. Related question, might be a silly one: I just noticed that after installing 205R on the said WD1007 system the disklabel has rpm=0 and rotdelay=0. Why?? Rotdelay=0 is used for (e.g.) SCSI drives with caches, yes?
